Summary: Good movie! See it
Review: The Negotiator is a great movie, and very entertaining. It features two of the hands-down best actors working today - Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. They are both great in their roles. This really isn't an action movie, although there's action. It's hard to classify, but it's a must-see. Very well done.

Summary: One of the BEST action movies in a LONG time!
Review: At first, I was unsure about watching this movie. I thought it was going to be just another action movie with things blowing up, but it wasn't. When the tables are turned on Samuel L. Jackson's character and instead of him doing the negotiating, he is being negotiated with. It turns into a psychological thriller that has you sitting on the edge of your seat. This is definately a must-see!

Summary: Coin With One Side
Review: This movie has a great combination of action, mystery, and special knowledge. The movie introduces some of the tactics of negotiation. The Bonus Feature of stories of REAL negotiators is one of the great reasons to own this DVD.

Summary: Jackson and Spacey ----> A Match Made in Heaven.
Review: Spark that Cuban cigar, and pour that Dom P. Kick back on the Lazy-Boy. And feast your eyes on the screen. Jackson is brilliant once again. But Spacey steals the show as "The Negotiator". Cool, Calm, Collected. His eyes Cold, Focused, Distant. ....The Man's: Cold Blooded. One Love. MB.

Summary: Above average production saves a by-the-numbers script
Review: Despite it's production values, NEGOTIATOR barely resonates the amount of action and suspense that it tries to display. Samuel L. Jackson plays a police negotiator being framed by an unknown ring of cops stealing money from their local retirement fund. In desperation, he takes a few people from the internal affairs department hostage after a heated confrontation goes from bad to worse. Kevin Spacey is another police negotiator assigned to "talk him down," to surrender. As the saying goes, the war of wits begins as Jackson tries to convince Spacey of his innocence, and Spacey tries to subtly trick Jackson into surrendering. Unfortunately, this is the sort of film where you can predict the ending long before the end credits roll. The reasons for this is clear : Spacey is never convincing as a worthy opponent for Jackson because we already know that Jackson's version is the truth. What saves the film from complete mediocrity are the above-average production values and the star power of Jackson, Spacey and David Morse (who is never quite convincing as a tough-as-nails police officer). If they had shot this movie from Spacey's perspective : A man who enters a situation neutral to previous events, perhaps they would have generated the suspense that they had so badly wanted. Jackson would have then portrayed the desperate but determined man he seems to be, spouting off paranoid rants about being framed. Not only would that have been believable, but it would have also been suspenseful as Spacey realizes the man might be correct. As it stands now, THE NEGOTIATOR thrills simply through routine action scenes and star power.

Summary: Good cast list , excelent movie
Review: Kevin Spacey is one of my favourite actors. I havn't seen Samuel L. Jackson much before but he seems to act very well too. I think that it is a really good idea for a film the way that a cop actually takes hostages to prove that he's innocent and that someone else is guilty of killing his partner.I also thought that the negotiations were pretty cool. Well anyway I think that this movie is deffinetly worth it's price and the DVD is cool because it has got quite a few extra features like real negotiations.

Summary: An Intelligent Action Movie
Review: I thought this was the most intelligent action movie I have ever seen. I love Kevin Spacey and I think he is one of the greatest actors out there. His preformance as Sabian was great. Sam L Jackson is up there on that great actors list too. I must thank Quentin Tarantino for reminding everyone how good Sam realy is. This movie was well thought out and action packed. I personally own it and would recomend it to everyone who loves action thrillers.
